2.  Opportunity to opt out prior to voter registration transaction.  The Secretary of State shall ensure that, prior to the creation of a pending voter registration record by a source agency, an individual is given the opportunity to opt out of any voter registration transaction. If an individual opts out of voter registration, information about that individual may not be transmitted from the source agency that obtained the information to a registrar of voters.
